How to watch and odds

  • Date: Thursday, Dec. 16| Time: 3 p.m. ET
  • Location: Anfield — Liverpool, England
  • Live stream: Peacock
  • Odds: Liverpool -850; Draw +800; Newcastle +2100 (via Caesars Sportsbook) 

Storylines

Liverpool: Striker Roberto Firmino has returned to training after his injury in October, and he’s expected to be available according to manager Jurgen Klopp. Curtis Jones is also expected to make his return after suffering an eye injury. Backup striker Divock Origi is set to miss the match with what the manager said was a “little issue.”

Newcastle: They have officially hit rock bottom with their 4-0 loss to Leicester City, and that’s going to force Eddie Howe into some adjustments. The team is off-balance, lacking cohesion, and before long he is going to be facing some serious pressure. They’ve scored two goals in the last four games and are averaging just over a goal per game. Against a Liverpool team that loves to get forward but also hold on to the ball, Howe’s side is going to need a few assists from lady luck to have a chance at getting even a point.

Prediction

Mohamed Salah scores twice in the first half and the Reds cruise to another easy victory. Pick: Liverpool 4, Newcastle 0
